? >> i'm looking forward to "old boy" a spike lee adaptation of a south korean thriller based on a japanese manga so that seems a little bit out of left field but this is a well-respected south korean film, a manga from japan, a lot of boys are into. >> what is the storyline. >> about a guy trapped in a hotel room for 15 years and afterwards is given a few days to figure out why he was trapped in the hotel room or he will be killed so it's a psychological thriller, it's very strange, it's different, and spike lee had a huge hit with "inside man" so he knows how to do thrillers. this could be a big hit for him. we have to wait and see. >> for people like me still catching up on the movies of 2012, if you had to pick the top five say that you should try to see not before the end of the year but maybe before the end of january, before the oscars, what should you try to see? >> definitely "the sessions." it's a helen hunt movie and it's a little bit controversial. there's a lot of nude nit it but it's a touching film about a man who is sort of, can he barely move, and he wants to

for his portrayal of slavery. spike lee is even boycotting the movie. some people are upset about it. you saw the movie. does spike leave a point? >> well, i think you haven't made an interesting movie if spike lee isn't boycotting it first of all. slavery is a touchy subject, no getting around that. quinton tarantino's last couple films have been a bit of revisionist history. his last movie was about killing hitler in a movie theater. we're not going there for realism. django is such a high quality picture that i'd say the hype is totally in line with the quality of the film. like you are going to go and enjoy it and it's all about perspective, carol. >> well, it is all about perspective. >> i just think that django is a movie about a guy that really loves his job. now it just so happens he is a bounty hunter and it just so happens he is killing some slave owners but that is beside the point because he is doing it for love. this is kind of a love story where he's on his way to get his wife back and i don't know. i found it to be completely ridiculous and really entertaining all at once.
